338—Too Good To Be Human

"How can I calm down? How on earth is Han Lei alive? We both attended his funeral, didn't we? Or am I recalling wrongly?"

Pei Yueran shook her head. Su Qianhua was the one that held her back from throwing herself into his grave during the funeral back then.

"So how is this possible?" Su Qianhua asked in bewilderment, "Maybe you saw someone that just looks like him?"

Again, Pei Yueran shook her head, "No, he came looking for me and told me what happened at that time."

She launched into another storytelling session. By the time she got to how Han Lei faked his death and went abroad, Su Qianhua got up in agitation.

"D*mn him! How could he do this?"

"Huahua, mind your language," Pei Yueran said.

"D*mn my language too! He's an as***le!"

Pei Yueran: "...."

"Just calm down, will you?"

"How can I calm down? He hurt you so badly Ranran. We trusted him, even praised his love for you, and he did this? Eight years! Eight f*cking years! And he's suddenly alive now? Can I just kill him and make your years of pain a reality?"

Judging by the way she fumed, she could have made good on her words if Han Lei was standing in front of her.

Pei Yueran: "??!"

"Do you want to spend some time cooling yourself in jail that badly? What should Philip and David do then?"

Su Qianhua said nothing, she just continued pacing about, making Pei Yueran dizzy, "Just sit please."

Su Qianhua sat, then snapped her fingers as she remembered, "That means Baohe really saw correctly."

"Baohe? From college?"

"Yes. She called me recently to say she saw him in the Capital, but I thought she was mistaken. So it's actually true. Such an a**!"

Pei Yueran looked thoughtful before her brows smoothened. It didn't matter anymore. "I see. Anyway, that's not all."

Su Qianhua paused, then sat down in he original spot, "I'm listening."

Pei Yueran continued talking. When Su Qianhua heard that he proposed she leave Li Chuanmo and come back to him, she gritted her teeth. "Ranran, were you blind?! How could you fall in love with such a nicompoop?!"

Pei Yueran gave a wry smile, "That's why they say we should not judge a book by its cover. Looks can be very deceiving. After all, didn't I introduce him to you? Weren't you the one that said he was a good man rarely seen in a hundred years?"

"I must have washed my face in sh*t at that time. Maybe I was blind too" Su Qianhua muttered, making Pei Yueran laugh. It was a weird conversation, but it felt good to share it with her friend. It lessened the awful feelings.

Su Qianhua asked, "So what did you tell him? Does Boss Li know?"

"Of course I told him it was impossible. And yes, I told your Boss Li too."

Su Qianhua continued, "That's better. If you had said the opposite, I would have thought your brain was filled with dirty water."

Pei Yueran held her forehead. Why did she get insulted again?

"I trust Boss Li at least, he would not entertain such nonsense. With him taking action, I can feel more assured."

Pei Yueran: "..."

Was she the type to entertain such then?

She even absentmindedly thought that if this conversation was a movie, every one of Su Qianhua's sentences would have been censored. Her words were hazardous ah.

"The main problem now is that he wants to take Xiao Chen with him, to the Capital." Pei Yueran said after a moment.

"Is he crazy or has he lost his mind?!" Su Qianhua, who had just taken her seat, jumped up again.

Pei Yueran was speechless. Didn't those two questions mean pretty much the same thing?

"Can you sit down? Aren't you tired?"

"I'm just so angry Ranran. Who does he think he is? First he casually fakes his own death, then he leisurely goes abroad for almost a decade and now he waltzes in and wants you guys back? Now he's even threatening you with Yichen? He's not human! Worse than a beast!" Su Qianhua fired out.

In a bid to calm her down, Pei Yueran just nodded and agreed with everything she said. When she finally stopped talking, Pei Yueran said, "Xiao Chen is still his son you know?

Su Qianhua sneered, "This saintly behavior of yours is the only other problem you have. Since you know that, why don't you let him take Yichen?"

Pei Yueran winced at the thought, "But I just can't bear to let him go so far away. Besides, the Capital is not necessarily safe."

"I'm glad you acknowledge that, so stop saying nonsense." Then she said to herself, "Won't it be great if Boss Li could just use some underhanded means to occupy and shut him up?"

Pei Yueran: "??!"

"Huahua, you're a criminal police officer."

"Thanks for the compliment. I might have turned to a life of crime if the police force hadn't snatched me up," Su Qianhua said smugly before continuing, "Make sure you ignore him to the very end and leave things to Boss Li to handle."

"He has already promised to handle things. I just worry that Han Lei would do something drastic." Pei Yueran said with a sigh.

"Don't scare yourself. What can he do alone?" Su Qianhua was contemptuous.

"His family in the Capital is pretty affluent, and he's the heir."

Su Qianhua was dismissive, "And so? His family is affluent, but are they more influential than your family? He's an heir, aren't you an heiress? I bet your family can put him in his place at any time."

Pei Yueran: "...."

She had to admit that her words made sense.

Su Qianhua was still speaking as she sat down, "Besides, Boss Li is here and in love, so what are you afraid of?"

That made sense too.

"But why are you advising me to lean on others?"

"Don't I know you? You're too good to be human. If left to you, that scumbag will sell you and you'll still help him count the money. Yichen would have been taken away and you'll still be making excuses for him."

Pei Yueran gave up. It was her fault for even talking. Too good to be human? What was she then? A ghost? Goblin?? Zombie???

"Anyway, that's how things stand now." Pei Yueran finished.

Su Qianhua held her hand, "If you need us to help you with anything, don't hesitate to ask."

Pei Yueran nodded, and they hugged each other, smiling.
